Is this plane still for sale?

My plan is probably to do a full annual on anything I buy. If I go PPI, then I will be sure to be there myself while it is done. That link had some really good info. The Lasar site has some good info as well.

Is there a download on this site, or something similar, that would list the typical problem areas and questions to ask a seller of an M20C? I found one that seems interesting. Oddly enough, it was a D (fixed gear) that was converted to a C. Anything in particular I should look into for that?

SoMooney, I sent you a PM.

Thanks everyone! An M20c fits within my budget compared to the other models, from there, they seem to jump up quite a bit more in price. I don't plan on having back seat passengers. We just want that room so we can fit a couple folding bikes, so legroom is not an issue. Most of our flights would be within an hour and a half. I do not yet have my IFR but would like something with which I can pursue that. I like the idea of actually having some airspeed for my 9gph, and maybe handling bumps a bit better through either higher wing loading or climbing quickly to higher altitudes. I like the simplicity of the C model as well. I only have one hour of retract in a Bonanza (is that forbidden to mention here?), and another hour of high performance in a Stearman. Yep, quite the oxymoron. I have 260 TT. I was at Keene today (EEN) and saw an Ovation 2. I tried not to trip over my tongue. It was beautiful.

After renting for almost 20 years, I am in a position to own my own plane. I've always loved the design language of Mooney's, and price wise, they seem to be similar to other fixed gear "trainers" but have significantly better performance. I live outside of Boston, and was wondering if there are any Mooney owners in NE that would be willing to let me sit in their plane, and maybe give me a good walkaround of their plane. Thanks! Jesse
